And Asians are leaving all other minorities behind. Heck, they're leaving everyone behind. They don't have that crybaby attitude.There are many non-affluent Asians, especially among first-generation immigrants with limited English skills, but by and large Asians are "punching above their weight" in many fields such as science, engineering and IT. There are many theories why this is so, involving everything from the nature of many Asian languages to the demands of rice farming. I.Q. is sometimes mentioned but is probably not the reason. Asian I.Q. scores are no more that two or three points higher than the American average of 100, not nearly enough to account for Asian dominance in, for example, biochemistry. My LIRR/NYCT blog |
